| Last album = ''NKOTBSB'' (2011) | This album = ''In a World Like This'' (2013) | Next album = ''The Essential Backstreet Boys'' (2013) | Misc = }} ''In a World Like This'' is the eighth studio album (seventh in the United States) by the Backstreet Boys, released in 2013 through the band's own record label K-BAHN. A follow-up to 2009's ''This Is Us'', it is the first album featuring all five original members since Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006 to focus on his family and pursue other interests. Richardson rejoined the group in 2012. It was also their first independent album since leaving their old label Jive Records in 2010. The album debuted at number five on the US ''Billboard'' 200, making the Backstreet Boys the first act since Sade to have nine US top 10 albums, and the only boy band to do so. On May 20, 2013, the group released "Permanent Stain" as a promotional single, which was co-written by band member Nick Carter. A free download of the song was offered with the purchase of a ticket for their In a World Like This Tour. The first single from the album, also titled "In a World Like This" premiered on Z100 New York on June 18, 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.backstreetboys.com/news/157943 )〕 and was released on June 25, 2013. ==Background and recording== In May 2010, Backstreet Boys left their long-time label, Jive Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/05/28/backstreet-boys-leave-label-jive/ )〕 The group then was looking to sign with Interscope Records, but the members couldn't agree on whether to take a one-album deal or a three-album deal. In June 2010, Nick Carter revealed that they had started working on new material for the next album,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.soundspike.com/features/tour/121-backstreet_boys_tour_dates_and_tickets_q_amp_a__nick_carter_of_backstreet_boys.html )〕 and Brian Littrell said in a separate interview that they were planning to release the album in early 2011. However, in late 2010 they teamed up with New Kids on the Block for a joint tour called NKOTBSB, planned for 2011, and they had to push back the release of the album as they had to find time to work on the album in between tour dates. In March 2011, during a press conference in Vietnam, the group stated that for the first time ever they have full creative control because they were no longer with Jive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vtc.vn/13-280911/van-hoa/backstreet-boys-hua-trinh-dien-het-noi-luc.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fisheggtree.blogspot.com/2011/03/backstreet-boys-talk-details-of-next.html )〕 In November 2011, after the US leg of NKOTBSB tour ended, Carter said in an interview that they were hoping to get a single out in spring 2012 and the album in summer 2012. However, Carter's sister Leslie's unexpected death at the end of January 2012 made the group once again postpone the recording until the end of February 2012 to give him time to cope with his loss. Howie Dorough stated later that month that they would not rush the album and that they would try to release the album in 2012 or 2013 at the latest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kellyalexandershow.podbean.com/2012/02/10/week-of-february-9-15-2012/ )〕 In April 2012, a week before the European leg of NKOTBSB tour started, the group, along with original member Kevin Richardson, went to London to meet with producer Martin Terefe and to write some songs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1689255/backstreet-boys-recording-new-album.jhtml )〕 On April 29, 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1684089/backstreet-boys-kevin-richardson-back.jhtml )〕 and in July 2012, all five members moved into a house together all by themselves in London to work on the new album. Besides Terefe, they also wrote songs with Sacha Skarbek and Craig David while in London, and in the US they worked with Morgan Taylor Reid, Mika Guillory, GoodWill & MGI, Lucas Hilbert, Geo Slam, and Porcelain Black.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://twitter.com/porcelainblack/status/249268143351021568 )〕 On July 27, 2012 the group held a lottery for fans to win a chance to hear rough mixes of their new album at their studio in London. On April 20, 2013, during their 20th anniversary celebration event, the group previewed eight new songs, "Soldier", "In Your Arms", "Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)", "Trust Me", "Permanent Stain", "Try", and "Breathe". The following day, they posted a video containing the previews of six of the new songs on their YouTube channel. On May 15, 2013, the group performed a song from the new album, "Permanent Stain", for the very first time on Good Morning America. While on GMA they also announced that the purchase of each ticket for their In A World Like This Tour would include a free download of "Permanent Stain". They released a lyric video of the song on their YouTube Channel the following day.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In a World Like This」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
